Mozelle Marie Cowden Rolleri “Rusty” 1923 - 2015

Mozelle Marie Cowden Rolleri “Rusty” was born December 6th, 1923 in Lakewood, Ohio to Glenn Cowden and Vivian Gifford Cowden. She attended
schools in Ohio, Alabama and Texas before graduating from Phoenix Union High School in 1941. During WW II she worked as a telephone operator, first in
Phoenix and then in California where she moved in 1944. A “strawberry blonde,” she was known to friends and coworkers as “Rusty.” In late 1945
she met Richard Rolleri and they were married November 5, 1946. The marriage lasted 50 years and produced two sons, Glenn Romie Rolleri and
Richard Cowden Rolleri. Rusty was active in Calaveras County Garden Club Inc. which she joined in 1959. She served in numerous positions including
four terms as president and on various committees and projects. The most well known of these was the Murphys Renewal and Re Leaf, involving saving
and/or replanting trees in Murphys Main Street. Her involvement ended in 1996 when her husband was diagnosed with terminal cancer. He died in 1997.
Rusty’s interest in old roses and wildflowers was well known and many school children gained their first knowledge of local wildflowers from her. She
was a life member in Calaveras County Garden Club Inc., California Garden Clubs Inc, National Garden Club, Inc, Native Seed /S.E.A.R.C.H., Navy League
of the U.S. and the Calaveras Historical Society...



She is survived by her sons, Romie (Valena) and Dick (Carla) Rolleri; granddaughter Monica (Matt) Parker; grandsons Micah (Kim) and Bryan (Teonna) Rolleri; and six great grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her friend and companion of many years Charles Clark. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to Amador Hospice or Calaveras County Friends of the Fair. A celebration of life will be held at 1:00 PM on April 19th at her home on Rolleri Ranch on Rolleri Ranch Road. Lunch will be provided.
